In Owner Bu's kitchen, Yu Fu opened her cherry lips in a daze. Her face was filled with astonishment.
It was rumored that Owner Bu's kitchen was a very mysterious area. Up until now, no one had ever entered it. She didn't expect that she would actually have the chance to step into Owner Bu's store today … This was simply too exciting!
Yu Fu swayed her snake tail and quickly followed behind Bu Fang.
After passing through the entrance of the kitchen, the entire atmosphere became somewhat different. The interior of the store was somewhat cozy, causing people to feel slightly intoxicated. However, the kitchen was filled with a kind of professional atmosphere. As soon as she entered, she was faced with the chubby mechanical puppet. The puppet's red eyes flickered as it swept across her body, causing all the hairs on her body to stand up.
Was this puppet the extremely terrifying puppet of the store that her father had mentioned? It didn't seem to be as fiendish as the rumors said. In fact, it seemed to be chubby and quite cute.
Bu Fang walked in front. He patted Xiao Bai's stomach and introduced it to Yu Fu, who was behind him: "This is Xiao Bai, my mechanical assistant. You can just think of it as a puppet assistant. After we finish cooking, the remaining ingredients will be recycled by Xiao Bai."
Yu Fu's body immediately tensed up. She clasped her hands together and bowed toward Xiao Bai, greeting it.
Xiao Bai's mechanical eyes flickered. It raised its fan-like palm and scratched its bald round head.
Bu Fang led Yu Fu past Xiao Bai and arrived in front of the kitchen's stove. This stove was made of an exquisite material. It seemed to be a type of ceramic tile, but it was much smoother than ceramic tiles.
On the stove, there were all kinds of kitchenware. It was fully equipped. The chopping board was made of special wood and emitted a faint fragrance. Yu Fu's eyes widened as she curiously looked at everything in front of her.
The decorations in the kitchen were completely different from those in the store. The kitchen was very simple and straightforward. There weren't too many unnecessary drawings on the walls like in the store. The kitchen was surrounded by cabinets. Some of the cabinets were made of wood, while others were made of different materials.
The materials felt cold to the touch. Moreover, there was a flickering light inside.
"This is called a refrigerator. It can store ingredients and maintain their activity." Bu Fang introduced indifferently. He opened the door of the fridge, and immediately, a gust of cold air rushed out, causing Yu Fu to shiver uncontrollably.
"This is an oven. Many dishes can actually be roasted. That way, many delicious dishes can also be made."
Bu Fang opened the oven. The oven was clean and spotless, and a cold aura spread out from it.
Range hood, stone mill, microwave oven, etc … Yu Fu had never heard of or even seen these things before. However, she felt that these things were very professional even though she didn't understand them.
For the first time, she realized that cooking wasn't as simple as she had imagined. It turned out that there were so many things to study.
"This is the Kitchen Knife Rack. There are all kinds of Kitchen Knives on it. You should find a Kitchen Knife that is most comfortable for you to hold." Bu Fang pointed at the Kitchen Knife Rack on the stove.
Yu Fu curiously sized it up. When she saw a pitch-black and incomparably heavy kitchen knife, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
"This … is this also a kitchen knife? Why is it so big and so heavy? "
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth curled up slightly. He held the kitchen knife and lifted it with ease. He casually twirled the knife around.
This kitchen knife was the heavy custom-made kitchen knife that he used to practice his Knife Skills every day. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to wield it.
Yu Fu tried for a while. Her wrist was sore, but she still couldn't lift the kitchen knife.
"This is the kitchen knife that I use to practice my Knife Skills and Carving Skills. You can change to another one," Bu Fang said.
Yu Fu immediately looked at Bu Fang in surprise. "With Owner Bu's cooking skills, does he still need to practice?"
"There is no limit to cooking. If you want to be an outstanding chef, daily practice is indispensable. Daily cooking is also indispensable. This way, you can immerse your heart in cooking and experience every change. Since you want to be my apprentice, then you must do the same Knife Skills and Carving Skills training every day."
Bu Fang said solemnly. It was true that his cooking skills were good, but he knew clearly in his heart that if he didn't practice every day, it would be impossible for his cooking skills to improve so quickly.
Yu Fu softly replied. Then, she held the kitchen knives on the kitchen knife rack. In the end, she chose a kitchen knife that was only the size of Bu Fang's palm. Its weight was moderate and it suited Yu Fu very well.
Bu Fang nodded his head and took out a few Thunderstorm Pigeon eggs from the cupboard. These were provided by the system and were specially used to make Egg-Fried Rice.
"I'll first teach you how to recognize the ingredients. These are the eggs of the third grade spirit beast, Thunderstorm Pigeon. They contain a lot of essence." Bu Fang said. He took out a porcelain bowl and lightly knocked the egg yolk and egg white into the bowl. The egg yolk had faint lightning arcs flickering within it.
"If you want to make a good Egg-Fried Rice, the control of spirit energy is the most important. You must control the spirit energy in the ingredients so that it doesn't leak. This is the key to ensuring the dish's taste."
Bu Fang condensed his true energy and formed a pair of chopsticks out of thin air. He started to beat the egg yolk.
"Do you know how to control the spirit energy in the ingredients?" Bu Fang looked at Yu Fu seriously.
Yu Fu blankly shook her head. How could she understand such a profound thing?
"Rhythm and use your heart to feel it. Spirit energy is actually a kind of fluctuation. When you feel the fluctuation, during the cooking process, try your best to ensure that the fluctuation is stable. This way, the structure of the spirit energy will not be destroyed and the spirit energy will not leak." Bu Fang explained. Then, his hands started to shake rapidly as he beat the Thunderstorm Pigeon eggs.
The true energy chopsticks were taken out. The egg yolk turned into a silk thread and was pulled long.
With a bang, Bu Fang's true energy dissipated. Then, Bu Fang squatted down and took out the pearl rice filled with spirit energy from the cupboard. After washing it, he placed it into the steamer and steamed it.
Yu Fu obediently stood behind Bu Fang and meticulously watched Bu Fang's movements.
"You must remember the place where I take the ingredients. In the future, the ingredients will be taken from these places. You must remember it well," Bu Fang said to Yu Fu as he heated up the wok.
Yu Fu's heart shivered. She nodded seriously with an obedient expression.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Sizzle! After the oil was poured into the wok, Bu Fang skillfully took out the white and plump pearl rice from the steamer and poured it into the wok. He stirred the wok with a spatula and the flame soared to the sky. It scared Yu Fu, who was behind him, to the point that her snake tail swayed.
Dang! Dang!
After stir-frying the pearl rice, the rich fragrance of rice spread out and wrapped around the tip of Yu Fu's nose. She couldn't help but take in a deep breath.
"When cooking Egg-Fried Rice, you must pay attention to the heat. If you can control the heat well, your Egg-Fried Rice will be more than half done," Bu Fang continued to guide her. He didn't speak much, but he would always open his mouth to remind her at the crucial moment.
Yu Fu, who was behind him, couldn't help but nod her head. She attentively recorded every detail.
The moment the egg liquid entered the wok, the egg fragrance immediately floated out. It was incomparably rich, and it made people feel as if their bodies and minds were wrapped up by the rich egg fragrance. It was as if they had fallen into a sea of Egg-Fried Rice.
The rice fragrance and egg fragrance mixed together, tempting people's appetite. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Bu Fang stood perfectly straight. He held the spatula and quickly stir-fried the rice. His movements were very skillful. It looked like moving clouds and flowing water. It was as if he was drawing a beautiful painting. It was pleasing to the eye.
Yu Fu couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.
From the time the egg liquid entered the wok to the time it was stir-fried, it only took a few breaths. Bu Fang took out the wok and poured the Egg-Fried Rice into the blue and white porcelain plate. The slightly viscous egg liquid wrapped around the pearl-like rice grains. It was overflowing with color. Steam rose and emitted a rich fragrance.
Yu Fu stuck out her small tongue and licked her pink and tender lips. Her heart was incomparably astonished.
She was probably the first person to see Bu Fang make a complete bowl of Egg-Fried Rice. So that was how the Egg-Fried Rice, which seemed as if it was emitting light, was made.
"Have you memorized the steps? As my apprentice, the requirements are very high. You should first finish this Egg-Fried Rice. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work, "Bu Fang said to Yu Fu as he wiped off the water stains on his hands.
"After you finish eating, I will prepare three sets of ingredients for Egg-Fried Rice for you to practice with. After using three sets of ingredients, I hope that your understanding of Egg-Fried Rice will improve. You must remember that the Egg-Fried Rice you make in the future will be sold in the store. One set of Egg-Fried Rice costs one crystal. You should estimate whether your Egg-Fried Rice is worth one crystal or not."
Bu Fang poured a cup of water and drank a mouthful. He looked at Yu Fu indifferently and then turned around to leave the kitchen. When he was standing at the entrance of the kitchen, he turned his head and said, "Your room is on the second floor. After you are done practicing, go to the guest room and rest."
After Bu Fang finished speaking, he immediately went upstairs and returned to his room to prepare to rest. His teaching … was just that simple and rough. How much Yu Fu could comprehend would depend on herself.
Yu Fu stood in the kitchen in a daze. Looking at the steaming hot and fragrant Egg-Fried Rice, she pursed her lips and a trace of determination appeared in her eyes.
She scooped up a spoonful of Egg-Fried Rice with a blue and white porcelain spoon and put it into her mouth. Yu Fu carefully savored the differences in Owner Bu's Egg-Fried Rice.
